About this Mod

🌵 Pricks 'n' Planks

Pricks 'n' Planks is a lightweight, desert-themed Minecraft mod that introduces a full cactus wood set, complete with signs, boats, fences, and a custom pottery sherd — all designed to blend seamlessly into the vanilla experience. Whether you're expanding your desert village, building a prickly outpost, or just love green-toned builds, this mod adds just the right amount of content to feel natural, immersive, and useful without overcomplicating gameplay.


🪵 Cactus Wood Set

Pricks 'n' Planks adds a brand-new wood type made from cactus, featuring all the block types you'd expect from a full wood family:

  • Cactus Planks, Slabs, Stairs, Fences, Gates
  • Doors & Trapdoors with a unique cactus design
  • Buttons, Pressure Plates, Boats & Chest Boats
  • Cactus Signs and Hanging Signs

🌿 The color palette pairs especially well with bamboo wood, particularly bamboo blocks — perfect for builders who enjoy warm, natural tones and complementary block sets.


🥣 Cactus Stew

  • Brew up a bowl of Cactus Stew, a hearty new food that grants the custom Thorny effect — causing attackers to take damage, just like the Thorns enchantment. Great for tanks, pranksters, or anyone who likes a little passive-aggressive defense.

🏺 Desert Archaeology

  • Dig deeper into the sands with a new Cactus Pottery Sherd, found via archaeology at desert wells. Combine it with other sherds to create beautifully decorated pots with a unique prickly pattern.

  • Unearth new secrets buried in the sand! Desert Wells now yield the Cactus Pottery Sherd through archaeology — combine it with others to craft decorated pots featuring a unique cactus pattern. And if you're lucky, you might also discover the rare Spine Armor Trim smithing template, found in desert wells and desert pyramid chests, perfect for adding a sharp, cactus-inspired flair to your gear.


💥 Throwable Cactus & Cactus TNT

Spice up your survival gameplay with some pointy new firepower:

  • 🌵 Throwable Cactus – A reusable, ranged weapon that deals a burst of prickly damage
  • 💣 Cactus TNT – Explodes without terrain damage, launching a scatter of throwable cacti in all directions — great for crowd control or desert defense!

🎵 New Music Disc – "Thorns"

A prickly, atmospheric track inspired by the desert oases. Found exclusively in desert pyramids, it's a fitting reward for brave explorers.
